HOW TO READ THIS TABLE: Candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives typically get the majority of their campaign dollars from donors within their home state. Read more...

Senate candidates show a variety of patterns, depending on the size of the state and the wealth of its economic base. Candidates in states
like New York, California and Texas may get most of their money from their constituents, while those in the most sparsely populated states may
get nearly all their money from out of state.

As a general rule, incumbents get more out-of-state money than challengers, a reflection of their status as members of Congress and the
wider circles in which they travel. Challengers and newcomers are rarely well known outside their state, so their ability to raise funds beyond
their district is more limited.

"No State" means that there was no state listed on contribution report.

METHODOLOGY: The numbers on this page are calculated from
contributions of more than $200 from individuals, as reported to the Federal Election Commission. PAC dollars are not included.

HOW TO READ THIS TABLE: The amount of money a candidate receives from his or her own district can vary wildly. Read more...

For example, whether or not a contributor is from inside a candidate's district can shift with redistricting.
Also, some candidates representing districts near, but not including, major sources of campaign money (like San Francisco, New York and Washington,
D.C.), may receive much of their support from outside their own district.

We used street address information provided by the campaigns to determine whether a contribution came from inside or outside of a candidate's
district at the time the money was given. In some cases, a zip code corresponds perfectly to a single district, and when this was the case we
calculated these contributions as coming from within the district even if no street address was provided.

"No District" means that there was no street address information listed on contribution report. This money is shown, but not included
in percent calculations.

METHODOLOGY: The numbers on this page are calculated from contributions of more than $200 from individuals, as reported to the Federal
Election Commission. PAC dollars are not included.

HOW TO READ THESE TABLES: The search for campaign cash makes "dialing for dollars" one of the most time-intensive parts of any political campaign. Where do all those well-heeled donors live? For most candidates, the richest source of large individual contributions will be the most populous metro areas within their state or district. Many incumbents also draw significant sums from the nation's capital. Senators and other high-profile incumbents may draw from the Big Three sources of campaign cash nationally: New York City, Washington, DC and Los Angeles.

HOW TO READ THESE TABLES: Nearly every candidate running for Congress or other high political office has a "golden Rolodex" with the names of potential high-dollar donors. Those donors tend to live in high-income areas, or to work in downtown business centers. These charts show where each candidate's top donors came from. In most cases, candidates' richest zip codes will come from within their own states or congressional district. Some of the nation's most generous zip codes may also show up - these are chiefly in Washington, D.C. and New York.

One thing to keep in mind is that while most donors list their home address when making contributions, others list their business address - so the top zip codes will reflect both wealthy suburbs and central business districts.

METHODOLOGY: The numbers on this page are calculated from contributions of more than $200 from individuals,
as reported to the Federal Election Commission. PAC dollars are not included.

NOTE: All the numbers on this page are for the 2013-2014 House
election cycle and based on Federal Election Commission data available electronically on Wednesday, June 01, 2016.("Help!
